It’s the gift that just keeps giving every week, or month, or season.
One-time gifts are so last year. Subscription boxes—or a service that periodically sends packages to one’s address—are the best presents of a new generation. Not only will the personalized boxed gifts show your loved ones that you’re thinking about them, but they’re sure to last well beyond a holiday or any milestone celebration.
